Chennai: Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni felt that there was no reason why Chennai Super Kings cannot win the third Indian Premier League T20 cricket tournament after having come so close to achieving success in the previous two editions.

While expressing satisfaction over the Super Kings team composition and negating doubts over the bowling attack, Dhoni, speaking at a media conference, was categoric in saying that his side was good enough to go all the way this season.

He fielded every question thrown at him with great patience and panache while showcasing his skills in dealing with the Media. Below are his thoughts on various subjects:

On Super Kings chances:

We have done pretty well in the past two seasons (reaching the final in 2008 and semi-finals in 2009). In T20 format, you cannot guarantee victory, but it is important to

Although Abhinav Mukund is yet to get a long stint in the IPL, he has kept his head down and performed consistently well in domestic cricket.

Chennai: Anirudha Srikkanth is among the more talented young cricketers in the country and like them, is waiting in the wings for the final push to the top. Having made his first-class debut at the tender age of 16, the hard-hitting opening batsman took a while to cement his position in the Tamil Nadu team.

Off the pitch, Anirudha has learnt to deal and live with constant comparisons, however unfair they may be, with his star father, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, though he much prefers to be his own man and let his batting do all the talking.

To an extent, Anirudha has succeeded in emerging from the long shadow of his famous father with a string of consistent performances, especially in the recent past. Now with the Chennai Super Kings, Anirudha, who will turn 23 on April 14, is hoping for another big break to underline his undoubted
